Odin relationship headcanons
-Like Freya and Jörð (Thor’s mother), he starts the relationship the same way: he compliments you 24/7, he gives you the most amazing gifts, super affectionate and becomes humble and self deprecating if it means entertaining you.
-This of course never lasts long, it lasts long enough to get you into his grips… he convinces you to ditch your friends and family while inviting you to live in Asgard.
-While he treats you like precious gold, the rest of Asgard treats you an outsider and a burden to all of the realms.
-This isolates you even more, it brings you even closer to him, no friends and no family outside of Odin to talk to. The only Aesirs that treat you with the littlest trust is Odin, (sober) Thor, (real) Týr, and Thrúd.
-He has a high libido especially when he was younger, he demands sex everyday, luckily with age comes less (mediocre) sex and more him studying in his stupid room.
-He leaves for periods of time to do research on the mask and usually comes back frustrated and angry so dont be bothersome by asking where he was and what he was doing. He may or may not have cheated on you during this period.
-Usually he copes with these failures by self isolating in his study. If you try to comfort him or talk to him during this, he will throw things at you, yell at you and scream at you to leave.
-If you find out about the cheating he doesn’t care, everything he does is justified to understanding the mask and what do you plan to do? Divorce him? Go back home where you haven’t spoken to your family for friends for decades or even centuries? Laughable.
-If he does something wrong, he tells you to get over it. Stop being so petty, he’s the main god of the Norse, he *has* to do hard things like leaving you and cheating on you jeez 🙄
-Usually when he “messes up” like being abusive or cheating on you, he tries to make it up with gifts and love bombing.
-That period where he left for a decade without word or telling you then eventually coming back to scream at you for asking where he was? He was actually getting you a golden girdle that makes you more beautiful or smth.
-Most of the relationship will be a rollercoaster of love bombing and abuse. Periods of happiness, peace and abuse. Every time you think this period of love and peace will last, he leaves and becomes worse than ever.
-You will cry a million times while in a relationship with him and Odin will say you have no other person to blame other than yourself for saying yes to his marriage proposal.
